This is the first of a three-part series on direct mail. You can read the other two blogs by clicking on these links.
Direct mail is enjoying a resurgence for good reason. At a time when it’s getting harder (and more expensive) to cut through email fatigue and other forms of digital advertising, an integrated “phygital” marketing strategy is more likely to drive results.
Direct mail can be a highly effective marketing tool for new customer acquisition, reactivating dormant customers, and increasing the lifetime value of existing customers. It also provides additional opportunities to engage with recipients through email, text, and in-person whilst the direct mail campaign is running; increasing conversion and average order values.
In the age of data-driven marketing, direct mail can reign supreme by;
aiding brand and product discovery, being memorable, and building trust through a tangible experience
reaching a wider audience with a higher propensity to buy
having the highest attention rate of any media and generating higher read and response rates
unifying omnichannel – enhancing digital activity, boosting engagement, encouraging physical footfall, and improving the overall customer journey
driving direct sales.
It’s also easy to test, track and measure. Plus, with the right technology, campaign results can be analysed in near-real-time as soon as a catalogue lands on the doormat.
